University Police Investigate Laptop Thefts

University Police received 6 reports of Apple Macbooks being stolen from Penfield Library within the last few weeks.  The owners had left the computers unattended for a short period of time. Multiple thefts took place in the early afternoon. A female may have witnessed one of the thefts.  Charges of Grand Larceny in the fourth degree a class E Felony are pending.

We would like to remind everyone to never leave your laptop unattended, even for a minute.

• If you must sleep while you're studying in the library, sleep on the laptop.
• Do not leave valuables in common areas or ask strangers to watch them for you.
• Engrave your Drivers License ID number on the bottom of the laptop.
• Use commercial location software, such as Apple's Find My iPhone or use tamper-resistant tags that can be applied to the laptop to identify it in case of theft.
